Is it possible he was winding people up when he said that and playing up to the perception that he was odd?

I think the previous quote about troublemakers at his club was from another era when the police would turn a blind eye to the bouncers "sorting out" a troublemaker. A lot would be to just make people think that something nasty would happen to them if they misbehaved so stories like those would be encouraged.

I suspect there might have been less trouble than now where the drunks go out on the streets, fight, swear at the police and just get trivial punishments if anything at all so they are back the following week.

Jimmy was what could probably be called the first showman DJ. The music may well have been different to what is played today but the principle was the same.

He made the DJ become a point of interest, he made it "cool". I suppose that is why Mixmag are paying tribute to him. Who knows, without JS contribution to the club scene and Djing, Mixmag may not exist!

Since Popbitch launched in 2000, we've often been asked which celebrity we'd had most stories about. It's not David Beckham. Nor even Paul Danan. "Jimmy Savile", was always the answer. Among a host of strange rumours is this one, the strangest. Itinvolved Mr Savile, a penchant for necrophilia... and access to the morgue at Leeds General Infirmary which, the story went, he was given in return for his charity work. We've been told this story by probably 100+ people - including two DJs, six journalists and a member of the House of Lords - it was even supposed to be one of Larry Grayson's favourite yarns. But most often it was told to us by a Leeds resident, the Rev Goatboy, late of this parish, who always promised to leave the evidence to support this wild theory with one reliable person, on condition we'd only use it after Savile's death. Sadly, none of us can remember who was supposed to have been the guardian of this evidence. So we have none.

We'll have to add this magnificent rumour to the pantheon of apocraphal celebrity stories for now.

There are millions of people across thw world that are porters in hospitals and that deal with dead bodies...Are they all accused of doing obcsene things? Jimmy Savile's job as a porter involved dealing with the living too....Is it because he did a job when he didn't have to? How many famous people do regular voluntary work without cameras around them? He was never seen posing and crying once a year at the Mirror's Britain's hero's thing....Is Popbitch the height of reliability? The main people that write obscene things about Jimmy Savile are also homophobic, think feminism is a communist plot and the John Lennon was murdered as part of a Jewish Conspiricy....Look up T.Stokes, the author of the hit piece on Jimmy Savile....I would trust Sir Jimmy over anyone that writes for Truthseekers.
